- If you sit and wait to feel like you are the most confident person in the room, you are probably going to be left by yourself.
- I never, ever grew up as a young woman believing that my gender would stand in the way of doing anything I wanted.
- I want to be a good leader, not a good lady leader. I don't want to be known simply as the woman who gave birth.
- I am not the first woman to multi-task. I am not the first woman to work and have a baby - there are many women who have done this before.
- I really rebel against this idea that politics has to be a place full of ego and where you're constantly focused on scoring hits against each one another. Yes, we need a robust democracy, but you can be strong, and you can be kind.
